Made it back alive!
Great trip, but good to be home. I'm under some serious jet lag and recovering from some serious food poisoning (Thanks Luftansa!) I just took a skim through the submissions and counted 25-30 entries (some duplicates).
I will do my very best to start posting these this week, along with judging instructions.

That's it for now, I'll post my travel story in a seperate thread later.
Cheers!

Welcome back, your dreams were your ticket out
Welcome back, to that same old place that you laughed about
Well the names have all changed since you hung around
But those dreams have remained and they've turned around
Who'd have thought they'd lead ya
(who'd have thought they'd lead ya)
Back here where we need ya
(back here where we need ya)
Yeah we tease him a lot cause we got him on the spot
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back, welcome back
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back

Yeah, glad to hear you didn't end up as Lion chow. Ever see "The Veldt". Old Ray Bradbury story.

So, take a few minutes for yourself before you start wading through the entries. I figure if everyone came in at exactly 5 minutes, and you are right in that there are 25 actual entries, you've got about 2.08 hours of short films to smile through. Good luck with that.

So, hope you had a good time while we were all sweating it out till the last possible second here. If you want some fun reading, check out the thread on "what did we learn". Mostly I think we learned if you give us enough time, we'll put it off till the last 48 hours and rush like mad people.
